Reminds me of those craigslist posts in the Free section:

FREE WOOD

I need a tree cut down on my property and for whatever reason I can't or won't afford a professional so I need someone to come do it for free.

The bonus is you get to keep all the wood, after you've done all the backbreaking work of removing this tree from my property that I obviously want or need gone but not enough to actually invest anything in it myself. Nope, I'm hoping that you're such a poor sack that just the wood will be enough to satiate you instead of any pay for the labor to get the job done.

Depending on the wood this is 100% worth it.

Seriously, my dad has trees worth $10k

Yeah, my dad and I would actually take them up on these offers. Win-win. I imagine you haven't looked at wood prices in a while. Even firewood is expensive. We'd turn some of them into boards (walnut, in particular), and get plenty of winter fuel with the rest.

It's the only reason I have a chain saw.... There's not an abundance of hardwood where I live, so anytime there's a bad freeze I'll look through posts on Craigslist or the neighborhood app.

If I had the space cure it (and a house of my own...), I would snap up the opportunity for some good hardwood.

I'm lucky enough to be next to a co-opt mill that will oven cure lumber and saw it out for a portion of the final product.

That's awesome! Out of curiosity, where is this mecca of cooperation?

Oddly enough it's in Oklahoma.
